You started this. Trying to hide your errors in judgement by moving these posts to Global Unity says more about your true feelings about free expression than I'm sure you intend it to.

What you are doing is trying to bury the truth by using your power as admin. This forum is called Free-For-All.

You have insulted, berated and accused people of something which they haven't done, and now you are trying to deny them the chance to speak to ALL of the members of Lindaland.

Again, you are having issues with the truth.

You and your comrades are the ones responsible for the subterfuge.

I asked nicely once to not turn this into a drama fest. You have chosen to do so anyhow.

You created this daf. Pat yourself on the back, dude.

I have read all of the posts and I am disgusted. Disgusted at the fact that a small group of people would protray themselves as "masters" and "Disciples" while expecting others to just fall along and take the "comet's path" to enlightenment. For those that questioned the forced religious zealousness of the "master" they were questions and put down or made to feel that they were not of the "enlightened crowd"

Riddles, poems, games- that all it was - subterfuge wrapped in a bow of "peace". No different than the zealots that knock on the door with the hope of converting the lost souls in the house.

What is worse, what saddens me the most, is that so many people were willing to subscribe to the "master" without proper analysis. To me this speaks of how much we all trust each other here at LindaLand and how a few- a group -a cult- can come in and abuse that trust. I do commend those that wanted to give this group a chance to explain their theory, unfortunately all we got was a bunch of riddles and ryhmes.

Keep in mind, that this is the same group that started the "witch-hunt". The game of "there is evil here...but not here..maybe it's outside..but we won't point fingers..well maybe just a bit". The only so called 'evil' here was that which was perpetrated by that so called "group". Free speech yes, but speech that incites a riot either online or off is not what our fore-fathers intended.

COME ON PEOPLE....talk about a false prophet..can you think of any "Master" in history that had to play THESE games? Randall was right..and he followed his gut, there were several of us that felt that same way -even in the first witch-hunt.

Hmmm...yes...in fact I do believe I called the group on that didn't I- being the same person..or sharing identities..

Face it..the group was caught with the IP thing - it happens - it's over- can we now get on with our lives?

And from elsewhere:

"We humans do not understand compassion. In each moment of our lives, we betray it. Aye, we know of its worth, yet in knowing we then attach to it a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned... Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the word. It must be given freely. In abundance." --Itkovian, Shield Anvil

You have a tendency to contaminate these stories. Watch:

They informed the Prophet Mohammad that the wife of a certain soldier is having an affair with a man. At this time, the Sharia was being codified among the Muslims. Prophet Mohammad asked Imam Ali to go and investigate. When Imam Ali arrived there, he knew that the two were having an affair. He put his hand over his eyes and walked around the room. He came back and said “I did not see anything”.

Two things happened here. First the woman shamefully repented and returned from the wrong, never repeating that wrong action again. Secondly, according to the Law of Moses, adulterers should be stoned. This penalty was subsequently refined by Jesus and accepted as a precedent in Islam. Although the letter of the Law required a certain penalty, the refinement presented by Jesus was also to be applied.

The man who did not repent was later destroyed by his nafs. There are many dimensions to these stories, not just the convenient ones that justify wrong actions.

We humans do not understand compassion. In each moment of our lives, we betray ONE ANOTHER. For sickness we bury all principles under our feet. Lust has taken the face of compassion and we use it to buy trust.

First of all, thanks Shizuka, for posting in this forum. Made it a lot easier for me to trace your IP and compare it to MZ's.

Funny... you're both VERY close to me.

So uh... yeah.

Since it's illegal to post IP addresses (as someone somewhere said), I am now confirming what Randall said is true. The two IP addresses come from virtually the same place. These two that I compared were not identical, but in the same city/state. I'm sure (s)he's just trying to make it look as though they're different now.

Another serious question, with all the hatred coming from the middle east who would blindly follow an Iranian?

And last but not least, a little class would go a long way. Why stay somewhere, where you have made a complete ass of your self?
act like an adult
admit it
apologise
and move on

It is always a pleasure to receive additional refinements to a much-loved story.

Thanks.
